It looks like Trump is determined to have as few Hispanics, women, and blacks voting as possible voting for him. Gingrich or Sessions guarantee victory for Hillary. A more intelligent strategy would have been a Hispanic male or female, or at least a female. I don't like identity politics, but strategically that makes far more sense.

In one book, 2011's Time to Get Tough, he calls for a 20 percent tax on companies that outsource jobs on page 63, and then just two pages later — on page 65 — calls for a 15 percent tax.
